I was photographing a globular springtail (Dicyrtomina saundersi) in the garden, when a juvenile "elongate" springtail came scurrying into view. Remarkably, they're both reasonably in focus with this single shot. Two for the price of one! #collembola #mesofauna #macro #photograph

Hey @jamesimcc.bsky.social , here’s another one from my compost heap. I think it might be Proisotoma minuta (although I struggled with the ocelli and abdominal seg separation). What do you think?

Living on the chill frontier of autumn, a hoverfly Ectophasia sp. soaks up the falling year's offerings of daylight and nectar on Scentless Mayweed.
A springtail looks up at the gigantic aerial zoomer with whom it shares its lifeworld.

There's apparently a springtail that like, lives its whole existence on some kind of divot on the faces of ants and steals their trophallaxis juice, and I can't remember the name or find the paper but I REALLY want to

I haven’t been posting on here very much recently, but thought I’d post this photo of a Dicyrtoma fusca springtail. What a beauty…

Finally got some isopods and springtails! T. tomentosa "Dwarf White" and Collembola sp. "Tropical White". Currently enjoying cucumber slices and oak litter while I prep colony bins. These tiny fellas will be the backbone of my tree frog enclosure!

This nice bronze-colored beetle is the spotted big-eyed beetle (Notiophilus biguttatus).
Springtails eat slime molds, and these beetles eat the springtails.

@jamesimcc.bsky.social Hi James! I recently learnt that my village has no springtail records so I wanted to try and add a few. Do you think this could be Hypogastrura manubrialis? Think it has some tiny anl spines, 8x8 ocelli, foot with empodium, and skinny mucro. Found in compost

Isopods deserve their own piece too, friends of the springtail they often live together :3
Unlike springtails, isopods can be tiny, or HUGE! :3
the big ones are very big :3

lol sometimes. Right now though I just noticed the other day that my springtail colony had a stow-away so there was one just hanging around. But there are always soldier fly larvae in my composter too.

A tiny springtail moves across escaping bubbles in the Austrian moorlands. Austria has lost 90 percent of its peat bogs, and many of the remaining bogs are not in good condition.
